  • Big car=Success in women??? Or how?

    So how do you see that? Does one actually have more success with women with a big car? Or doesn’t the beautiful sex pay attention at all to something like that? I can only say for my part that if I am travelling with my Lupo I will clearly get a nice smile back at the traffic lights more often than if I am driving with the Benz. So exactly the opposite of the stated thesis. Would I be interested in whether this is generally the case. Are women NOT MATIAN? So and now I am looking forward to your postings, but please don’t become Cheauvinist, my topic was not meant either…. Greetings Taliesin

  • Mercedes in Formula 1

    What do you think about how the new Formula 1 season for Mercedes has been going so far? To be honest, I’m pretty disappointed. After there was a lot of engine damage last season, this season seems to be a lot more than just the reputation of Mercedes, who is known for quality and longevity. If Mercedes can’t build engines that have the same reliability as the other top teams (Ferrari, BMW), then maybe they should pull back from Formula 1 or at least run the engines under a different name. If they’re down again at the next Grand Prix, then they’re slowly but surely making a mockery.

  • How much PS do you need??

    I have been reading here on the board for quite a while now and I like to argue in threads like “The car against the” or “How old does the car look against my super sportsman”. I wonder more and more often, how much PS is actually enough? Also in the great “SLK 600 – I need help” thread someone doesn’t seem to understand the relations any more. How much PS do you think is enough?? In my opinion, everything is basically no matter, since there is “always” a faster car. And you can be sure that you will meet the then also at the traffic light or on the BAB. Especially if you are happy about a sdchnelles bullet comes a bigger and drives you over the roof. Who of you runs knows what I mean. Do we have statistics in mind how often we have lost and won in a traffic light race, and we estimate how fast our car is now? So how much PS – or better how much PS with otherwise the same signs do you need? Avantgarde

  • The meeting!!!!

    hello together, we’ve been talking about a meeting before, which was interesting on many sides. well it’s still early in the year, but we should start to plan the whole thing. I think we should start to plan the whole thing slowly, so that it won’t be such a we-meeting-us-time-even-saturday-afternoon-on-nem-parking-meeting. we need a date, a good time and maybe one of you also has experiences with such a meeting, so that it will be more than just a parking meeting. maybe this meeting can also go over a complete weekend?? so, what do you mean?? let’s hear something right!

  • SA Turbo/TurboS Comparison…Nissan GTR

    So the TurboS is hardly faster, like a normal turbo with all extras. 3s on the NS, after all 1.2s on the small course Hockenheim. 0.2s on 200, 0.2s 200-0, a bit better drive at the rear. The TurboS costs 174,000Euro and is thus almost twice as expensive as a Nissan GT-R. This one had on it during the tests, but the Turbo S didn’t! Now the Nissan 6s on the NS and 0.1s on the HR is faster. Well, the Semi-Slick sports tyres will be said to be difficult to drive in wet conditions in everyday life. Well, the GT-R 5s is faster than the Turbo/TurboS… Think also this as the basis here the values of the GT-R model 2010 etc. were given, not yet the improved, stronger GT-R facelift model, but it has also become more expensive, you have to admit fairer whites. Now it should be finally clarified that the GT-R a machine, if the price of the GT-R does not beat very good despite the fact.

  • 930 3.3 Turbo or 993 Turbo ?

    Hello, I have to buy a Porsche Turbo. I have looked at various models, but I haven’t driven one yet. In question comes for me either the Porsche 930 Turbo with the 3.3 liter engine or the 993 Turbo. So I want to invest between 50-60tsd €. Now my questions to the specis here: 1. Is there a preference in terms of value retention or even value increase? 2. Is there any older Turbo years that are to be preferred? 3. Are there things for both, which absolutely should be taken care of when buying? 4. Which Turbo is more fun? (I know, drive and test myself, but I lack a little time and vl. there is someone of the two Turbos ) Finally a 930 Turbo, which I like well:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… What do you think about it? Thank you for your answers.

  • Approval H-marks / non-existent papers?

    Hello, I would like to allow a vintage car. I bought this one recently – but unfortunately all the papers (that is, really everything – are missing and can not be found again) and the car was driven in the last 14 years exclusively on a non-public road. I would like to allow the car with H-marks. I am quite aware of how I would proceed if I had only lost the vehicle letter. But so!? The vehicle certificate needs the vehicle letter, the vehicle letter needs the test report of the last main inspection. For a new main inspection, however, I need the vehicle letter again. If someone can help me, I would be very grateful!

  • Workshop costs at the Lexus Hybrid

    Hello My father and I play with the idea of buying a used Lexus vehicle. I am a fan of new drives and would like to drive a hybrid. My dad unfortunately doesn’t play that way and draws the total cost as a decision criterion. Now I am sitting at the calculation of the total cost. I have almost all the necessary posts together for this purpose, only with the maintenance costs I am not quite sure how I can calculate them. With a new vehicle this doesn’t matter at the beginning because of a guarantee, but with a used car it is different! The full-bodied statements of the marketing department are of course only one side, what is real, is another, therefore my questions: The maintenance interval is the same with 15,000 km for all vehicles, or? How much does an average workshop stay cost and what is done there (what must be made specific?) Do I have to count for the hybrid technology with an hourly workshop rate, because other and additional technology? Which hybrid parts have the biggest wear and have to be exchanged after x years or x kilometers? I hope the few drivers can give me thanks.

  • Urgent help is despairing??

    Hello together, am here still new.. Meanwhile I am almost in despair ?? I drive an Alfa 156 2.5 V6 24V with 141kw Year of construction 2002 Meanwhile I have invested quite a lot of coal but with a problem I am not at all right at all. It creepingly occurred that my Alfa when giving gas completely goes out as if someone had pulled the plug (with 180 on the highway no fun 🙁 ) I go from the accelerator pedal he sometimes comes back again. Sometimes he shows errors like VDC times he does not make any error in the memory. The engine control light flashes fast at the start and extinguishes as soon as the engine runs…but often he also does not jump at all. The friendly also does not come forward and taps on engine control unit as with coffee set read. Does someone know how I could proceed there or what I have to consider when changing the engine control unit? Have a used for 450 euros here but then I can build it so easily and then learn with code card? For help I would be really grateful.

  • Div. Questions about Park Avenue

    Buying advice, Div. Questions about Park Avenue Hello people, although the search function has also used, but maybe one or the other still can tell me something about my questions. I have seen a 95 PA, should have only 30,800Km on the clock, price 4.950,-, EU version. The appeal is there, but I am not yet sure. Now you read for consumption times 10 / 11litres and but also 15 / 16litres, I mostly drive short distance. What do I have to expect there??? According to my Rechere, the 95 EURO2 emission standard, is it true? What is the maintenance interval with the 3,8 with 173 hp??? All 10,000 km or all 15,000 km?? What does it look like with rust protection prevention??? Because I just had my Alero do an underbody and hollow space seal, since below is only bare sheet metal. Does the engine have a belt or chain drive? Special wear parts. Have just read into a thread that a user has a motor damage on his Park Avenue.
